As many inhabitants
of the town of Efremov, Tula oblast, 17 years old Maxim N. and his friend Igor R. often
heard about 47 years old man who would engage in sexual relationships with 12
and 13 years old girls, finding them online and promising them gifts and money.
Then Maxim and Igor found out that their 13 years old female friend was
contacted by this man and offered to meet up and to have sex. Guys advised
their female friend to agree on the meeting so they could show up instead her
and teach the man a lesson. The meeting took place on 25 July 2016. Teenagers
severely beat the man but that wasn’t enough. On the next day Maxim, Igor and
another teenager beat him again, this time to death. The beating was filmed on
mobile phone camera and uploaded online.
